Based in Spain, from the PNW, & documenting love all over europe
I delight in preserving the joy of your love, and all that makes it yours.
Life is too fragile to pour your heart and soul into a wedding that feels like a performance.
Too short to spend time stressing over logistics.
Too beautiful to try to fit your day into a box that wasn’t made for you.
get to know me
You deserve a wedding experience that…
→ Prioritizes presence over pressure or performance
→ Feels personal, honest, and reflective of your unique relationship
→ Celebrates your unique story and the journey that led you here
Relish the comfort of a love that welcomes you as you are
Feel every emotion deeply, remembering what it means to be human
Practice gratitude for every moment you’re given, because you never know when it might be the last
I don’t know about you… but that sounds a hell of a lot more worthwhile to me.
This is your one wild and precious life (and wedding day),
as Mary Oliver would say…
So how are you going to spend it?
Or will you choose to…
Worrying about what others think of you?
Sticking to what feels easy and safe?
Trying to follow all the rules, and trapping yourself in the expectations of what the day is “supposed” to look like?
An inclusive, affirming space for all love, all ways
is worthy of celebration
Every story
& every love
Hi, I'm Kate!
she/ her
A queer, fun-loving American gal living in Europe with a deep passion for honest, artful celebrations.
I promise to be an unconditional, unwavering supporter of your love from this moment on.
Your wedding is more than a day to take stunning photos
There’s one thing you should know about me right off the bat:
As your photographer, I intentionally create a space free of expectations and obligation—so you can be yourselves every moment, and have your story captured as it unfolds. Over the past 12 years, I’ve documented weddings for couples of all cultures, genders, races, beliefs, and body types… and every single one has taught me the same thing:
That love, at its core,
is meant to make you feel safe, seen, and celebrated…
just like your wedding.
it's an opportunity to step boldly into who you are and who you love, in whatever way feels right to you.
Meet Kate
That scream-it-from-the-rooftops kind of love…
An experience curated for you, anchored in:
That’s the shit I’m here to capture.
What I bring to the table:
A safe space for all love
Intentional, honest photographs
Custom, local-led photography experiences

Here’s what makes My heart
Beat the hardest
“If I could give Katelyn a thousand stars, I would! She shot our wedding in Washington State, then came to Italy and did a shoot with us in our wedding clothes at Seceda mountain range, then we went to Lago di Braies and did another shoot there. She also did a shoot with us in our apartment and around our little village in Italy as well to remember our time there. Along with her fantastic personality, she is an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHER!! She made us feel relaxed and natural in our pictures and we are so thankful that we had her as our photographer. We couldn’t be happier with the memories she gave us from our wedding and all of the shoots afterwards. She is a wonderful photographer, business owner, person, and we are so glad we can call her our friend.” —Avika Bartlett
Words from Couples Like You
"Katelyn was a dream to work with. As a queer person in a same sex relationship, it was hard trying to find a photographer who knows how to work with queer people but it was and is such a gift to have a person, in Kate, who is enthusiastic about her couples stories, experiences and dreams both for photography and for their events. She is also so skilled in capturing people of different racial identities with a keen eye for light, framing, and depth. She is generous, abundantly thoughtful and does her due diligence in planning, communicating, contracts and pricing. It would be easy to gatekeep a talent like hers, but good people deserve good photographers, and Katelyn goes above and beyond." —Brandi Miller
Words from Couples Like You
"After love, the most important thing in a wedding are the pictures. Katelyn was just perfect and I love all the pictures she took. She made us feel very comfortable and guided us through the whole elopement. Every single person who has seen our photos is impressed with the quality and creativity. I can't recommend Katelyn enough! She is the sweetest photographer and took the best pictures I've ever seen!"
